There are dairy cows, beef cows, dual purpose cows, cows used for draft work, and cows used in sporting events. There are cows that are just simply used as lawn ornaments, and cows that are holy. There are fat cows, thin cows, tall cows and short cows. There are normal-sized cows and mini cows, mean cows and cows that are lick-your-face friendly. There are body-builder-type cows and normally muscled cows. There are cows that are humped with large ears, and cows that are not. There are horned cows and polled cows. There are wild cows that don't see a human being for most of the year and docile cows that see humans every hour and day of its life. There are male cows called bulls and female cows called--you guessed it--cows. There are also mutt cows and purebred cows. And there are cows that are confined to the barn and cows that are free to roam the range.
There are all types of cows in the world, see, of most every kind you can think of.
There are literally HUNDREDS of breeds of cows...depending upon how you define them...over 800...some say over 900 different breeds globally!!!
Since you asked about "cows" versus the medical/technical term "bovine"...you may be asking about "domestic" (USA cows/bovines)...and possibly, "milk cows".....which can be a simpler list/catagory to work with. (Assuming this is for a school paper, maybe?)
Dairy cows come in different sizes and shapes. Those having the same size, shape, color, temperament, and abilities are classed by breed. The major US dairy breeds are Ayrshire, Brown Swiss, Guernsey, Holstein, Jersey, and Milking Shorthorn. The largest dairy breed in terms of number of cows is the Holstein. (4-H Association website)
For the best EXTENSIVE breakdown by breed and it's distinguishing characteristics... visit the BovineBazaar.com website. It is amazingly extensive.
The following is a SIMPLE LIST of breeds from the Oklahoma State Veterinary School website...not all 800+...of course...but at least the ones that Oklahoma State feels are notable.
